Full-time actor

"Welcome home!"

The moment Chen Yu and Liu Yifei pushed open the door, countless fireworks rained down from above.

A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Looking over, they discovered that their whole family was looking at them with happy smiles.

Liu Xiaoli placed the firework tube in her hand in the corner and hugged her daughter first.

Hearing that Liu Yifei and Chen Yu had rushed back made him feel happy.

"We've finally got you back."

"My sister has been looking forward to it ever since she found out you were coming back."

Liu Xiaodong looked at Chen Yu, his eyes filled with joy and admiration.

Everyone present gathered around.

Besides adults, children also tirelessly surrounded Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

The children clearly idolized the two of them.

"Come on, let's bring Xiao Chen and Qianqian inside first."

After hearing Liu Xiaodong's words, the other children cheered and ran into the room.

Only the youngest girl, holding Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's hands, looked overjoyed.

"Auntie, can I be as beautiful as you when I grow up?"

After saying that, he looked at Liu Yifei with admiration.

Children of this age have always loved beautiful things and people, and they were especially fond of Liu Yifei.

"Of course."

"She'll definitely be prettier than me."

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Someone prettier than Liu Yifei? Probably not for at least the next ten years.

This isn't just Chen Yu praising his own wares.

Most importantly, Liu Yifei's temperament is truly unparalleled.

At least in Chen Yu's memory, it did not exist.

"Sisi, have a bowl of soup first."

"Drinking it hot makes my stomach feel better."

Shen Xiaoqin handed the soup to Liu Yifei, and the more Liu Yifei looked at it, the more she liked it.

The latter obediently accepted it.

"Thank you auntie."

“You and Mom must have had another busy day.”

Almost every time, the two of them would be extremely busy whenever they knew that Chen Yu and Liu Yifei would be coming back.

They would remember each child's preferences, and every time they came back, they would prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

A short while later.

Their bowls were piled high with food.

"no--"

Liu Yifei protected her bowl, and the chewing motion in her mouth stopped instantly.

"I'm still filming!"

"After this meal, I'll definitely gain 10 pounds when I appear on camera."

Liu Yifei looked at the delicious food on the table with a sad expression. Just thinking about losing weight made her feel terrible.

"Haha, it's okay."

"This one meal won't make you gain much weight."

Shen Xiaoqin offered words of comfort, her heart aching for Liu Yifei, who was already skin and bones and had to diet every day.

Liu Yifei looked aggrieved, and the food she was chewing suddenly tasted bland.

The interval wasn't long this time, and if she ate too much, she wouldn't even have a chance to make up for it.

I thought about it.

Liu Yifei eventually gave the ribs in her bowl to Chen Yu.

"I'm stuffed."

"After filming is finished, I'll eat all the foods I want to eat."

Liu Yifei has always been a foodie.

The same was true in her previous life. Chen Yu never exercised much restraint with her in this regard, since Liu Yifei didn't need anyone to deliberately remind her.

She has a clearer understanding of what she should do than anyone else.

Seeing Liu Yifei put down her chopsticks, Liu Xiaoli subconsciously stopped what she was doing.

"You've only eaten a few bites."

"Finish what's in your bowl first; maintaining your figure isn't something that happens overnight."

The meal was a close call, but ultimately safe.

Liu Yifei eventually finished cleaning up the food in her bowl.

I ate until I was completely stuffed.

"I'm so full!"

Chen Yu sat down next to Liu Yifei and saw that his girlfriend looked regretful, clearly upset about her lack of self-control just now.

"We definitely need to practice for two extra hours today."

Upon hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu stopped playing with her hair.

There are still a few more scenes featuring Mulan.

The scenes are mostly set in the imperial city and Mulan's hometown.

Overall, Liu Yifei's figure is already close to perfect, so there is really no need for her to control her diet too much.

only.

My girlfriend has always been a perfectionist.

"Don't be too hard on yourself, General. Just stay in your current state, and you'll be in the best possible condition."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei resigned herself to her fate.

After each meal, it's time for everyone to chat.

This time, the topic undoubtedly revolves around the two films starring Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

Release dates for "Joker" and "Mulan".

To be honest, Chen Yu had already had this idea in mind for a long time.

To be precise, he and Liu Yifei were well aware of the ultimate significance of these two films.

As for Chen Peidong...

After praising his son a few times, he briefly explained the business situation of these companies.

The father and son sat together, and there were always too many emotions to express.

Chen Peidong, unlike his usual carefree self, looked at Chen Yu with a hint of emotion on his face.

"Dad really owes a lot to you."

“If someone had told me before that I was capable of running a company, I definitely wouldn’t have believed it.”

"Look at it now."

"No matter what the job is, Dad can handle it perfectly."

As he said this, Chen Peidong looked at his son.

His eyes were full of pride.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

"If you hadn't given me life, I definitely wouldn't have been able to achieve what I have today."

After all.

Without the support of his family, Chen Yu certainly wouldn't have been able to achieve what he has today.

Shen Xiaoqin sat beside the father and son; they rarely spoke such sentimental words to each other.

Chen Peidong seems to be in a very good mood today.

"okay."

"We still have work to do these next couple of days, so let's not take up our rest."

"Let's take Sisi back to her room to sleep as soon as possible."

Hearing his father's words, Chen Yu nodded.

He was actually somewhat fortunate, at least life had given him a second chance.

The previous life.

Success will not be achieved, nor will fame be gained.

He couldn't give his parents the life they wanted, yet he had to make them understand his work time and time again.

Now, he has finally become the pride of his entire family.

After settling the rest of his family members, Chen Yu gazed ahead.

Liu Yifei was fast asleep on the sofa. After a flight of more than ten hours, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

She reached out and picked up the person in front of her. As for Liu Xiaoli, she looked at the two children in front of her without disturbing them.

She had long believed that Chen Yu was capable of providing Liu Yifei with a safe haven.

***
May 10, 2010, Beijing International Airport. Chen Yu, Jiang Wen, and all the main cast and crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" had already arrived.

They will then travel to Cannes by private jet to attend a special event for "Let the Bullets Fly".

"It's been so long!"

"Brother Xiaoyu, this busy man, finally has some time to rest."

Ge You waved to Chen Yu.

They haven't seen each other for about a month since their last press conference.

Everyone is busy with their own movies.

However, even combined, none of them could match the shock of Chen Yulai.

After all, the films "Joker" and "Mulan" were enough to shock the entire world.

As the group appeared, media reporters swarmed to the airport.

At the press conference, Jiang Wen had already announced the departure date for the main cast and crew of "Let the Bullets Fly".

This time.

The media reporters present seemed to have been personally invited by Jiang Wen.

The entire airport was packed with people. As for Jiang Wen and Chen Yu, they would be heading to the private jet terminal shortly.

buzzing-

Chen Yu's phone rang; it was a message from Liu Yifei.

Two days after they returned to the capital, Liu Yifei had already set off for Xiangyang.

The next scene to be filmed is Liu Yifei's hometown. Although she is a little reluctant to part with Chen Yu, the two of them are already used to it.

Being apart for long periods of time is the norm.

All they have to do is work hard.

Chen Yu turned on his phone, and Liu Yifei's message immediately came to his eye.

"Have you boarded the plane yet? I'm secretly contacting you during a break from filming."

"Don't think about me, hee hee~"

Just by seeing this message, Chen Yu could already sense the subtle expression on Liu Yifei's face when she said those words.

"Director Chen, what are you looking at? You're smiling so sweetly."

Jiang Wen was about to greet Chen Yu when she noticed his reaction and subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

He naturally knew who was on the other end of the phone, but teasing Chen Yu was already a common occurrence for him.

After quickly composing and sending the text message, Chen Yu finally looked up.

"It's Yifei."

She asked us if we had set off yet.

Before the two could finish speaking, the media reporters had already surrounded the people present.

To tell the truth.

The people present had already formed a deep friendship while filming.

He hadn't even said a few words when he was interrupted by the media reporters in front of him, but they knew that this was undoubtedly a publicity stunt for "Let the Bullets Fly".

The post-production of "Let the Bullets Fly" was delayed for a while.

Otherwise, "Let the Bullets Fly" might have been able to make it to the premiere.

"Ahhh-"

"Chen Yu, I've finally met you!"

His thoughts were interrupted, and Chen Yu put on a polite smile.

The crowd was packed around, mostly consisting of fans and moviegoers of Chen Yu and others, with the exception of some media reporters.

Since 2009, fan culture has been gradually taking shape.

People have become more aware of protecting their idols, and picking them up or dropping them off at the airport is something fans enjoy doing immensely.

The media reporters moved as close to the front as possible.

have to say.

Wherever Chen Yu appeared, they were given absolutely no chance to catch their breath.

As the most popular and talked-about person in the world right now, Chen Yu is undoubtedly the most watched.

"Chen Yu, what is the main purpose of this trip to Cannes?"

When is "Joker" scheduled for release?

There will always be people who don't understand romance. After all, this is the home turf of "Let the Bullets Fly," so it's natural not to mention other works.

Even though both of these works belong to Chen Yu.

"I am going to Cannes today for the 'Bullet Night' event for 'Let the Bullets Fly'."

"The purpose is naturally to sell the overseas rights to 'Let the Bullets Fly'."

Compared to other films that evade these questions, both Chen Yu and Jiang Wen answered them truthfully.

"Director Jiang, I heard that when you were filming this movie, you said that you wanted to earn money while standing up."

"Will this movie be able to fulfill your initial ambitious goals?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Wen burst into laughter.

The laughter was extremely hearty.

It is completely devoid of any unnecessary emotions.

"Whether they are standing or sitting, this is something that audiences will discuss after watching the movie."

"I'll put it this way now: this movie will definitely be worth the money of those who bought tickets to see it."

Jiang Wen raised an eyebrow.

His facial expression remained unchanged.

Ultimately, he was absolutely confident in his statement.

Everyone looked over again. The media reporters had finally seized this opportunity, and they certainly wouldn't stop until they had asked all their questions.

"Director Jiang, Teacher Chen Yu, Brother Chow, and Teacher Ge You, is there anything you would like to say to the audience before boarding the plane?"

Upon hearing the reporter's question, Jiang Wen and Chen Yu exchanged a glance.

After all.

They had extremely high hopes for this film.

Compared to Jiang Wen, Chen Yu can be said to be quite confident.

"Come on! Everyone, give a round of applause!"

"Let's have Director Chen say a few words."

Chen Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated, but he cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression:

"First of all."

"Whether it's box office success or awards, I think these are things that Director Jiang should be worried about."

"When I joined the crew of 'Let the Bullets Fly,' I only had one thought: to play the role of Hu Wan well."

"I hope 'Let the Bullets Fly' can bring a unique feeling to the audience!"

Chen Yu's brief words won thunderous applause.

Normally speaking.

He shouldn't have had the chance to speak in the first place; he was just forced into this position.

"it is good!"

Jiang Wen clapped.

No matter what it is, as long as it's good for the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," he'll accept it without hesitation.

Everyone's attention was focused on Jiang Wen's location.

Seeing this, Jiang Wen waved his hand generously.

"Let's let the bullets fly for a while and wait for our good news!"

After saying that, they remained silent and turned to walk straight into the airport area.

As always, he was generous and forthright.

Seeing that Jiang Wen was carrying a briefcase, Chen Yu could roughly guess the reason.

The editing work is not yet complete. Since we couldn't participate in the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, we definitely need to speed up the process.

"Director Jiang, you are truly dedicated."

"You can't believe you succeeded if you arrange all the post-production editing on the plane."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Jiang Wen couldn't help but laugh.

"It's perfect that you're here."

"If there's anything lacking, we can discuss it further."

"It's really tough on me to shoulder this responsibility all by myself!"

Even so, Chen Yu still knew Jiang Wen's abilities.

The previous life.

Whether it's writing the script, filming, or post-production, Jiang Wen is involved in every detail.

Regardless of whether he did a good job or not, his spirit is still admirable.

Without any hesitation, the group headed straight for the private jet terminal.

Next.

They'll bravely venture into Cannes; let the dust settle! (End of Chapter)
